The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is expensive ($299) and can only fly for 15 minutes on a charge, but it’s still a leading contender for the best Father’s Day gift you might ever buy.

When I tried out the new AR.Drone earlier this year, I sensed its entertainment value, but it wasn’t until I brought it home and took it for a bunch of real test flights that I discovered the compelling nature of this remote-control flying and HD video-recording entertainment device. It’s best described as your own personal spy drone.

His full review is honest and interesting and anyone reading it would be sure to buy their Dad a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0, even if it did cost R2,500. (Eina.)

So, aside from flying your own personal spy drone, what are your plans for the weekend?
